A Season-Best Performance from Jaahad Parris Leads Valley Vista over Mountain Ridge

On Friday, Valley Vista had to settle for second even though Jaahad Parris put up the best numbers he has all season. Parris rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns.

Parris and Valley Vista are taking a road trip to challenge Boulder Creek at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Parris up against the Jaguars' star running back Karsten Cornell. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
